Apart from stocking up on presents – among her gifts was The Hot Mom to Be Handbook by Jessica Denay – Thiessen has also finalized plans for the birth.

“I’m going to give a Girl Scout effort to hypnobirthing,” the actress, 36, tells Pregnancy magazine about the method that uses hypnosis to promote natural childbirth.

“I’m really excited about it. That’s my plan, but my husband and I are both very, very open to however the child is supposed to come out. Knock on wood it all goes well. I’m not one to judge any woman on how they choose to give birth. It’s individual and I think everyone’s different.”

As for the sex of the baby, Thiessen and her husband are keeping it a secret until the baby’s arrival.

What a sweet girl..pretty too. I always liked her. Best of luck!! I have a feeling it’s a girl!!

She is just glowing!

I love her philosophy on childbirth, too. She’s absolutely correct. Every woman is different and needs to do what’s best for her and her child.

She is just glowing!!! She looks sooooo happy! I am betting a boy only based on her pregnancy cravings. She said she craved a ton of red meat…which I know is an old wives tale for predicting a boy and even though I never buy into that stuff, i’ll use it to guess this time. haha.

I never understand why people find out but won’t share it with there friends and family though?? I knew a couple people who did this and I just didn’t understand the logic. If you are finding out because YOU couldn’t wait for the surprise, why should all your friends and family have to wait? I don’t know. It doesn’t make sense to me.
Either way, this baby is going to be a cutie! 🙂

Wow Tiffani looks amazing! I am so excited for her. I have been her biggest fan since I was a kid. I know she will be an amazing mom and that kid will be so beautiful! I think shes having a girl. I think her family and friends know what it is and shes just keeping it quiet to the public. I did get a clue that’s it a girl. shhhhh lol

Good for her ! Hypnobirthing is WONDERFUL ! Really. I have three children, and the two births that i used hypnobirthing for were so much more relaxed and empowering. The water-hypnobirth combination is really special, and if medically possible, I think everyone should at least give it a go and see if it works for them :o)

Pregnancy agrees with her by far! She radiates beauty! My husband and I found out the sex of our three children, and only shared the first one. I think that is part of the fun of being pregnant, hearing everybody else with what they believe you will have. I also admire her for believing that every woman is different and not judging them by their choice of birth. Congrats to her and her husband!

Heidi

Saw she and her husband on “Design Star” and they were absolutely so sweet and adorable. Best wishes to them! I’m sending you easy labor prayers, Tiffani!

Rye I just want to point out that we are not her family and friends and therefore why would she tell us? You dont know whether they did tell family so its really not that weird.

Congratulations to Tiffani!!! My mom and I own an organic business and we make several items including diaper bags, and we were fortunate enough to be able to give one to give Tiffani an organic diaper bag to celebrate her baby shower! I hope she enjoys it!!! You can see the one she got at organiluxeliving d o t c o m. 🙂
